Chapter 10

Two days later, Amanda decides to have a girls' night at her apartment with Kim, Bella and Reese. She also decides to invite Lena. She texts the 4 girls individually and they decide to see a late night movie. Kim arrives at Amanda's apartment and they decide to do their nails before the movie.

"We just have to wait for your other friends and then we'll have our girls' night out." Kim says.

"That sounds like fun." Amanda replies.

Amanda and Kim play with baby Jesse and Frannie as they wait for Bella and Reese. They talk about their relationships and Amanda's wedding. Kim tells Amanda that she saw a Tiffany box wrapped up in the closet of her apartment and she thinks it might be an engagement ring. Suddenly, Amanda's cell phone rings.

"Lena, I've got a nail trial going on at home if you want to join." Amanda says.

"I don't know what time I'll be there." Lena replies.

"Okay, I can't talk now. I'll see you at the movies. Honey, I gotta run." Amanda responds.

A few minutes later, Bella and Reese arrive and they get ready to do their nails with Amanda and Kim. The four girls go into the bathroom and they pick a nail color and they choose the color purple. They go into Amanda's bedroom and they paint their nails.

"This is fun." Bella says.

"We should have a girls' night out every once in a while." Reese replies.

The girls are having fun painting their nails and they talk about relationships. Each girl is happy in the relationships that they're in. Kim and Reese are each in a relationship, Amanda is engaged and she has a baby and Bella is married and she also has a baby.

"So, Reese, how's it going with Carisi?" Amanda asks.

"Great. When we were at your house and we were about to play spin the bottle, we went into the kitchen to grab food and drinks, he told me that loves me." Reese replies.

"Aww." The girls say.

"And we had our first kiss after I told him that I love him back." Reese responds.

All four girls are painting their nails purple and after their nails are dry, the put on a nail design. The girls are waiting for the design on their nails to dry. They put on some fun music as they wait for their nails to dry.

"What movie should we see?" Reese asks.

"The Secret Life of Pets is playing." Kim replies.

The girls' nails are done drying and they get their shoes on so that they can go to the movies. They grab their bags and they get ready to see a movie. Kim wonders if Lena will be at the movies but she doesn't know for sure. Suddenly, Amanda's cell phone rings and she thinks that it's Lena. She tells the girls that she thinks that this should be good and she picks up the phone.

"Hey, Lena, where are you? You missed the nail painting fun." Amanda says.

Amanda realizes that Lena isn't the one calling her. She wonders who is calling her and what's going on. The three other girls are wondering who Amanda is talking to. They are trying to figure out what's happening.

"Yeah, this is Amanda Rollins. Who's this?" Amanda asks.

As Amanda is trying to figure out who's calling her, the caller tells her that he's a police officer. The girls now know that the caller is a police officer and not Lena. They don't know what to think or say. They wonder why the officer is calling Amanda.

"I don't understand. Where's Lena?" Amanda asks.

The officer tells Amanda that something has happened to Lena and that she might have hurt herself or might be dead. She doesn't know what to think or say. The officer tells her what happened to Lena. He tells her that Lena has passed.

"No, that can't be." Amanda says.

"What's going on?" Kim asks.

"But she's supposed to be here with us." Amanda says.

Amanda is in shock that Lena has passed. The officer tells her that Lena has killed herself by taking sleeping pills. All of the girls wonder what Amanda is hearing from the officer.

"Amanda, what's happening?" Bella asks.

"Lena overdosed." Amanda replies.

"Is she going to be okay?" Reese asks.

"She's gone." Amanda replies.

Amanda has told Kim, Reese and Bella that Lena overdosed and that she's gone. They are all in shock and Kim starts to cry.

"No." Kim cries.

"Yes, officer, I'm still here." Amanda says.

Amanda sits down on the couch as the police office tells her about Lena's death. He tells her what happened to Lena. After that, Amanda hangs up the phone and all four girls sit down on the couch and they start to cry. They hold each other's hands as they cry about Lena.

"I can't believe it." Reese cries.

"She was fine at the party. How did this happen?" Bella asks as she cries.

"All I know is that they found her in the bathroom at her motel room. Apparently, her boyfriend called 911 and took off." Amanda cries.

Amanda gets up from the couch and she is still sad but she has stopped crying. Kim, Reese and Bella are still sitting on the couch and they're sad.

"Here's how this is going to go. We're going to go to the movies and we're going to pretend to have a good time." Amanda says.

"Okay. Now she won't be at your wedding." Kim replies.

The four girls comfort each other and they get their bags and they head to the door. They leave the apartment and they get ready to go to the movies. They are sad about this sudden death but they'll get through it no matter what.
